Why not? Let's collect pearls of Lit authorial wisdom in one central locataion for the delic-- delec-- dilec--, um, joy of the masses!
I'll start!
How long until a story is posted?
24-72 hours. Sometimes the webmistress will get backed up and it will take up to a week. Sometimes there is something involved in your story that requires additional formatting time or she is considering whether or not to stick it into Extreme. These may take more time.
How do I make the link to my stories in my signature line active?
Go to your memberpage and copy your URL from your address bar. It'll look like this: http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=1832
Then go to UserCP, edit profile, and head down to the Signature line box. Type in the following (or C'n P this with your info added):
<A HREF="http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=1832" target="_blank">Whatever you want people to see here!</A>
It'll look like this: Whatever you want people to see here! Please note that this example uses vB code and you can't use it in sig lines. Use HTML.
How do I put italics in my stories instead of making Laurel do it?
Use HTML! Laurel will edit out almost all HTML you stick in your stories, but she won't edit out italics or boldface tages. <I>Your italicized text</I> or <B>Your boldfaced text</B>
She won't let you use italics or boldface in your entire document, but you can use it in addition to regular text in order to make whatever authorial point you need to make with it.
The reason why you can't use a lot of HTML is that this is added already by the scripts when you submit. Each page possesses a header, title, style, errata. All you need to actually submit is your non-tabbed, double spaced paragraphed text. The scripts do the rest! (They took long enough, they should mix drinks while they're at it.
)
How do I change the font in my text?
You don't. Any HTML to that effect will be edited out.
How do I get into contact with the webmasters? My emails seem to be ignored.
In addition to the 6ish hours of straight porn Laurel reads every night, she gets tons of email. Your mail will easily get lost. The best way to get in contact with her is to use the bulletin board to PM her or to start a thread in the appropriate forum. She will eventually see it and answer questions, or maybe someone else who has asked the question before will be able to answer it for you.
How do I put links in my story?
You don't. You are only permitted internal links, that is links to other Literotica pages. You can ask to have your story linked to another site, but there should be a good non-spam reason for it.
Anyone else know any answers to questions? Actually have questions? Our panel of experts will all look it over and probably say, "good questions, dunno!"
